She was sat on her bed, in a haze or something. I sat beside her before handing her the water bottle. "I left these here before I got changed" I said.

She thanked me before getting a tiny bottle of pills.

Bingo

"What are those for?" I asked oh so innocently.

"Oh, they're sleeping pills" she replied, she couldn't even look me in the face.

"Do you have trouble sleeping?"

She then turned her head to me, "sometimes, I get stupid ass nightmares so these help" she explained.

"Nightmares? About what?"

She froze. Completely frozen. Let it go, let it gooooo.
Sorry for that Frozen reference.

"It's nothing, anyways,what are we watching?" Oh Brie Brie, I see what you're doing.

"What about these two drag queens? Katya and Trixie?"

Her face lit up. She can light up New York City with that smile.

"HELL YEAH!"

~1 hour later~

Briella fell asleep literally 5 minutes in. Lazy girl, I'm telling ya.
She's just started to shift about, which I'm guessing is a nightmare again?
She kept mumbling, it looked like she was hurt or something.
I immediately text all of my brothers, once I heard their footsteps, my nerves calmed down, thankfully. I would've been having a panic attack if I were here alone.

Marc slowly opened the door, the rest four brothers right behind.

"Shhhhhh" Marc said holding a finger to his lips.

Brie's mumbles were becoming more loud, her head was sweating. Her hands were shaking. I hate seeing her like this...

 I hate seeing her like this

"What the fuck Briella? Another detention?"
"What did you want me to do? The guy was trying to touch my ass!"
"You should've took it as a compliment! Stupid little bitch"
Jason started walking up to me, pure anger in his eyes...
What do I do? Hide??
Fuck it, run.
I ran up the stairs, my breathing started getting heavy. I slammed the door, locking it and hiding in the closet.
"Come on Briella, you know you'll get it worse if you hide. Open the damn door!"
I hid bundled up in clothes, trying my best to control myself.
"Briella, I'm not fucking kidding!"
Block it out
Block it out
Block it ou-
*THUD*
D-did he just break the door down?
He slowly opened the closet door, his sinister laugh echoed in my mind.
"Found you"

"PLEASE!"

"Lie down'

"NO!"

"Lie the fuck down Briella"

"NO DON'T!"

He pushed me down on the bed and started punching my stomach, I cried out in pain. He started spitting on me, slapped my face, squeezing my wrists. Leaving me black and blue.

^

He then held me down and took my jeans off.

"Please...not again"

The devilish look he had on his face will forever repeat in my memory. He took his jeans off, the sound of a belt still triggers me. I realized, there no point infighting. He'll always win.

"Brie!"

He didn't care if he hurts me, I'm noting but a toy to him.

"BRIE!"

"You deserve this, you bitch!"

^

"BRIELLA LUNA DE LUCA!"

I woke up, absolutely petrified. All of my brothers standing around me, I couldn't even say anything, I felt paralyzed.

"Brie..." Marco said while trying to console me. He held his had out and I flinched.
The look of hurt on his face broke me. I looked up at him and started bawling my eyes out.

"I-I"m s-sorry"

Marco sat beside me, he pulled me in a hug. He kissed the crown of my head, "shhhh, you have nothing to be sorry for Brie. I promise you."

Marco signaled everyone to leave which they hesitantly did.

I sat in Marco's strong arms, repeating my apology over and over. He held me tighter while I sobbed, making me feel...loved? Protected? I don't know.

"Briella, I need you to tell me what happened" Marco softly spoke.

My sobs started to calm down, I looked up at Marco, he kept stroking my hair.

"I-I can't" I whispered, tears flowing down my face.

"You have to amore, I want to help you" Marco said. I found peace with him...

I took a breath in, wiping my tears away.
"I'll only tell you"

Authors note:

Ooooooh go Brie! I'm proud of her :')
Hope you're having a good day!
